Is there any chance at all that Shula will be fired soon?

Does anyone truly think so? Logic tells me no, but I need a prayer to hang onto...

Hurney didn't finish out the year when he was let go. Allegedly that happened when he had no answer for JR on how to turn the team around.

I could see it happening if players start making frustrations known. That assumes they are even frustrated. Seems like most of the public comments allude to "execution" and not coaching.

I'm not saying Shula is faultless. No one wanted him gone more than me last year when he was holding Cam back...

That being said, it appears he has opened up more this year but our OL is so horrible, we won't see any good from it.

Long-developing routes have always been an issue for Shula, but I think if the personnel up front was better, the offense would look dramatically different.

You have to work with what you have.

Idk, for whatever reason this season, I just don't think Shula is the problem that should be addressed. OL, secondary, Gettleman for his stupid decisions (aka Smitty) and excessive amount of turnover and being arrogant enough to think he didn't need to address our weaknesses better than what he has, and then Rivera for the lack of focus and discipline we have been seeing.

Absolutely, but sadly, I don't think philosophical adjustments would made a difference with this personnel. Slow recieivers take longer to get off the line, at least consistently, and we don't have an OL to allow Cam time... not even on quick hitters.

    • Yeah not taking that Burns trade was infinitely stupid. We seem to be finally righting the ship but, imo, our biggest issue since Tepper bought the team has been coaches and management having a poor understanding of where our own roster is at. Starting with that idiot Rhule drinking his own kool-aid and thinking he was going to come and take the NFL by storm with Teddy freaking Bridgewater. Could have just kept Cam on the last year of his contract and gone from there but noooo that fat slob had to feel like he was the big man on campus. First round wizard Marty Hurney who, for whatever his faults, has a freaking HOF track record with first round picks, wants to trade up for Hebert but fat fug Rhule says no. Then we kept Rhule for 3 years which is absolutely unbelievable to me and every single year he treated our roster like it was just one player away trading our draft picks for Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield who have proven since leaving that Matt Rhule was an even bigger idiot of a coach than we thought. We finally seem to understand we are a ways off and trade CMC, but then we don’t take the actual good trade for Brian Burns who was never better than a run of the mill situational pass rusher. Then we botch the self scout of our OL (and team) after Wilks, even though they were bad before Wilks simplified the scheme, thinking they can execute whatever the hell Reich and Brown were trying to do. So we win a couple meaningless games playing dummy ball and Fitterer thinks we’re a player away again. And nobody even considers that having the slowest receiving corps imaginable with Damiere freaking Byrd, who can’t even make it to the season before being injured and cut, as your only hope for speed, coupled with the worst pass blocking OL I’ve ever seen, might lead to titanic levels of disaster. The way Canales and Morgan have been adamant about constantly bringing competition at every position has been refreshing and made a huge difference. I was kind of worried that we had fallen into our old ways leading up to the draft with all the talk of defense only and worried that they might feel the offense was set. Very glad to see they were not complacent on that. My big thing now is I’m still wondering why Evero is still here. I can’t think of a single player who has gotten better under him, and the Broncos defense got better once he left. We’ll see.
    • really good interview that gives some insight into their decision making process in making up the schedules and the issues they run into with so many people broadcasting games now. also some interesting discussion on what they have going on and where they might be heading in the international games. vikings have 2 of them, btw. we might be seeing more of that.     
    • wow i absolutely LOVED watching that.   will watch again...and again...and again.
